About

Conductor Jukka-Pekka Saraste has been conducting the symphonies of Sibelius all over the world throughout his conducting career. Thirty-five years after his first recording of the complete cycle, Saraste returns to the symphonies of Sibelius with the Helsinki Philharmonic Orchestra-the orchestra with which Sibelius conducted the premieres of his symphonies back in the day.

Critic reviews

  • “This new set, recorded live with the Helsinki Philharmonic under Jukka-Pekka Saraste, is up there with the best and well worth acquiring if you are looking for a well-judged, scrupulously played set.”

    Limelight, Editor’s choice, September 2026

  • “Saraste’s interpretations have matured over the years, not least in No 5, where earlier accounts divided opinion.”

    Gramophone, Editor’s choice, August 2026
